Got two images again for y'all...the second image, the vertical graph scale (water level in feet) is set to end at 9.20 feet...since the record is 9.24 feet, gives a feeling of just how close you guys are!

IMO the lake level might have bottomed out for the season, as it seems to be stabilizing as of late because of the kick-in of the rainy season over South & Ctrl Fla. Inflows from the rains(if they continue) should slowly start bringing the lake level up.................

That's the idea! But notice everyone, the key phrase TG used is "(if they continue")! For our sake, i hope he's right!!!

Well the lowest Lake-O level ever recorded was 9.24 ft. on May 14, 2001! I hope we're not going down that road again!
We'll be down to 1 day of lawn & landscape watering!!! :eek:
